In creating, the only hard thing is to begin; a
grass-blade's no easier to make than an oak. [James Russel Lowell]
Often I hit a wall that seems invisible until, SURPRISE!! there
it is smack-dab in my face. This is disconcerting ONLY WHEN I see it as a problem.
Creating is like breathing, we don’t think when we breathe, so
why think so much when we’re creating?! That wall is thinking. [I think!!]
An artist is a nourisher and a creator who knows that
during the act of creation there is collaboration. We do not create alone. [Madeleine L'Engle]
It is never NOT a collaboration, DOing Life, how we live our
Life. I hadn’t really thought that thought out loud, so I am glad to have come
upon it this morning.
I did NOT used to think of my Life as a creative adventure.
I DO Now. And I plan to continue letting it unfold and show me myself one
little breath at a time.
There's a way of playing safe, there's a
way of using tricks and there's the way I like to play which is dangerously
where you're going to take a chance on making mistakes in order to create
something you haven't created before. [Dave Brubeck]
It takes mistakes
to get your heart out there.

My mojo for arts and crafts comes and goes in cycles. But one can be creative in a lot of other ways, too. Sometimes the hardest way is in thought. ;)
